La Quinta Inn Sweetwater, Sweetwater

I usually think of La Quinta Inns as being fairly nice hotels. However, I was very disappointed in this one. When I went to take a shower I had the water as far toward the Hot as it would go. The water was, at best, luke warm, it never did get hot. I thought perhaps the Hot and Cold were reversed so I moved it toward cold which produced freezing cold water. Had there been wash cloths on the towel rack that was barely clinging to the wall I would have taken a sponge bath in the sink, which did have hot water. But the only wash cloth was one which laid in a moldy basket that held the shampoo and soap. When I used the hairdryer to dry my hair and try to warm up a bit (so I wouldn't start to suffer from hypothermia) there was a very strong stench of burning hair that came from it. I started to look around to see if there were any smoke detectors close by that might be set off by the hair dryer. There were also a few ants in the bathroom. The beds were decent, and the breakfast was nice. But I do wonder how much worse the motel next door could possibly be at half the price. Upon check out we informed the front desk about the lack of hot water in the shower. We were offered no compensation. (Which having worked at a hotel before I would have expected.) If we ever stay in Sweetwater again we do not plan on staying at La Quinta.

The room was very clean and neat. The staff were very attentive and the entire section of the hotel we were in was very quiet and peaceful. The stay came with a free hot breakfast offer and we were very surprised at how laid out the breakfast was. The food was very good and fresh. We thoroughly recommend you check out this hotel.

We stayed in this hotel on November 21st and found it to be not at all like the pictures provided on the internet. There were renovation signs posted but it seemed the remodeling was being done to the wrong areas. The office area is well kept and very nice and more work was being done to that area.When we saw our room we were shocked that this was the same place. The inside of the door was warped and separating from the rest of the door. The air conditioner was not fitted with proper insulation so cold air from outside entered the room. The chain on the door was half off...do I need to say more. I do not think that the price that is paid is worth the stay in this hotel. I still cannot believe that its a Holiday Inn.

The stay was nice and the room were very clean. The service was also good. I only wished I had known the pool was being worked on. My daughter was real disappointed she was unable to swim.

On the surface this looked like an ok Hotel but the room smelled funny and it was not clean in all the corners and the window sill was filthy. The walls were dirty in spots and the paint was chipping and peeling. The showerhead and the bed were nice but that is all I liked about this hotel. I don't understand why it had a three star rating and was recommended on the web. It was a dissapointment and I would not stay here again.
